Drinking On Lexapro (Page 9) (Top voted first)

I was just wondering if anyone has drank with this med and were there any side effects? I've been on lexapro 10 mg for a month and am feeling great but I am petrified to even attempt to drink alcohol, but would like to try. So if anyone could help that would be great.

you guys in America slay me. have you ever looked on your Lexapro fact sheet. We in England get out meds in blister packs and packed in boxes with a leaflet inside , we like it this way nobody gab mess with your meds in blister packs , but in bottles no way. ANYWAY the firs thing it tells you is don't drink on lexapro so why do you do it . You cannot be ill if you DRINK booze , because it just told you not to /GUINESS is a cool draft drink with iron in it by all means have 1 of those its like being a bad boy or girl but getting iron. Don't ask others do you drink on Lexapro all your doing is looking for an excuse to drink, ie he drink so I can , that's what this forum is page is about . Drink if you like but you should not it tells you that, END OF

Lexapro is an antidepressant. Drinking alcohol is not recommended, as alcohol is a major depressant, and undoes the work the medication does.

pills take at least a month to kick in and make a difference.

My wife is on lexapro and has been for 3.5 yrs. and she drinks about a six a day. I think it was good for her in the beginning, but the stress of her new job I have noticed her drinking more . For 5 yrs we've been married and 5 years we dated before that was unbelievable, then two weeks ago she told me she wanted a divorce! Said the only reason was she's got to much stress, he'll before this I thought r marriage was the only thing not stressful!!!!! I love her and don't want to loose her

Never do that! I was on that medicine for 2 years, and I was never able to drink! the first time I drank when I was on lexapro, was only 2 weeks from starting the treatment, I forgot I was on medication and I drank only 2 drinks and I fainted on a bar! Thanks to my sister nothing happened to me, but don't do it, it will get you sick big time! I kept on fainting for like 3 months, just because I kept forgetting I was taking the medicine (I'm ADD too). It feels horrible!
